Patricia5827 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I was a scribe for 4 years and left that position over a year ago. I just received an email that a law firm is seeking my deposition for what I'm assuming is a patient I charted on. Im probably over-reacting, but do these show up on PA school applications, and if so, do they have a huge effect on my application as a whole?

I believe for the application it’s only required if you’ve ever been found guilty of a misdemeanor or felony. But depending on what happened in the case if someone was found negligent, it can hinder employment prospects after PA school. Typically it’s the physician’s responsibility to oversee employees are conducting themselves in a professional manner and following the policies.

Patricia5827 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 I dont think it has to do with anything regarding conduct or anything, Im pretty sure its just the chart was brought up because the patient is suing. I was always sure to not leave PHI out in the open or anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 People get deposed all of the time. It is not a reportable offense that I know of unless you’re the one who gets charged,Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
